Google Nexus 5X Review - How does it hold up?

2016-04-11
yo what's up guys Toby here from tech me now and today we are going to be taking a look at the Nexus 5x from LG and Google the Nexus 5x is the younger brother to the 6p so it has a smaller screen size with a lower resolution it also has a less premium body and less premium specifications but most importantly it's a lot cheaper and in my opinion it still holds up very well to today's standards so let's find out why so let's start off by looking at the specifications of the 5x the 5x is rocking a Snapdragon 808 processor and 2 gigs of RAM the screen is 5.2 inches and sports a resolution of 1080 x 1920 it also has Gorilla Glass 3 the battery has a capacity of 27 hundred milliamps and is able to quick charge via the USB type-c port in terms of graphics we are looking at the Adreno 418 GPU and looking at storage options we either have 16 or 32 gigabytes which is a little low especially when shooting a lot of 4k video which surprisingly the Nexus 5x supports so speaking of 4k what are the camera specs on the Nexus 5x the Nexus 5x actually features the same sensor and optics as these 6p which is awesome to see 12 megapixels F 2 point 0 a Verger laser autofocus slow motion pretty much the whole package the front facing camera is a 5 megapixel shooter with an aperture of F 2 point 0 and in terms of audio we have one front-facing speaker no not too we only have one but it kind of looks like there's two but sadly there's only one and it's not even good so let's just not talk about the speaker so let's take a look at the build on the bottom there's a USB type-c port and a headphone jack and on the side there's some very boring looking power and volume buttons and on the back there's a fingerprint reader which is not clickable which feels a little bit weird when moving from the LG v10 and as you've already noticed the whole body is made out of plastic instead of metal which we see on the more expensive devices such as the 6p and iPhone 6s all right enough let's talk android 601 marshmallow it's awesome there's nothing as pure as a Nexus device running the latest and greatest Android software it's extremely sleek and smooth and everything runs like a charm without needing to worry about random pre-installed software so yeah that's awesome but software is nothing without hardware so how is the performance the Nexus 5x handles daily tasks such as browsing the web and multitasking surprisingly good it's only when you start gaming and doing more heavy stuff that it starts to lag a bit behind but not by much the screen is actually great it's not a 1440p AMOLED display but colors are still decently vibrant and poppy but I have noticed that the screen has a small amount of green tint which looked a little bit weird but it's only noticeable wanted to go really deep into it and other than that it's great and in my opinion it also has the perfect screen size it's relatively easy to use with one hand but at the same time it's fairly big for consuming media such as YouTube and Netflix and speaking of media how is the camera I will let you be the judge of that you I leave your comments about the camera down below in the comment section the front facing camera is decent but not special at all it's gonna get you okay selfies but all this hardware would not work without a battery and this is where the 2700 milliamp hour battery steps in I could go an entire day with moderate use and still have about twenty percent left but if you are a power user the Nexus 5x may not be for you because the battery drains pretty damn quick but to mention it also charges pretty damn quick and that with the help of the new quick charging capable USB type-c port all right that's the Nexus 5x it's an awesome device and for the price you will not be disappointed the Nexus 5x is a very well-rounded device and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone thanks for watching if you liked the video go ahead and leave a like and if not please tell me why in the comments down below also do not forget to subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you guys in the next one peace you
